Conservatory of Music and Dance

Your gift to the Conservatory of Music and Dance will help make the lifelong hopes and dreams of our students realities. Your gift can make the difference for students who may otherwise be unable to attend UMKC.

Priorities for the Conservatory of Music and Dance include:

Provide financial support to more than 75 percent of Conservatory students studying to become musicians, dancers, teachers and music therapists.

Recruit and retain top talent by offering competitive packages to prospective students from across the country and around the world.

Help provide state-of-the-art rehearsal and performance space for Conservatory students.

Fund student participation in competitions and performances, such as Dance Division’s trip to the American College Dance Association Regional Festival in Champaign-Urbana, IL.

Bring internationally known artists to campus to work with students, providing hands-on guidance and networking opportunities.
